and given the regime's stockpiles of chemical weapons, we will continue to make it clear to assad and those around him that the world is watching, and that they will be held accountable by the international community and the united states, should they make the tragic mistake of using those weapons. and we will continue to work with our friends and our allies and the syrian opposition on behalf of the day when the syrian people have a government that respects their basic rights to live in peace and freedom and dignity. because we're leading around the world, people have a new attitude toward america. there's more confidence in our leadership. we see it everywhere we go. we saw it as grateful libyans waved american flags. we see it across the globe -- when people are asked, which country do you admire the most, one nation comes out on top -- the united states of america. so this is the progress that we've made. thanks to the extraordinary service of our men and women in uniform, we're winding down a decade of war; we're destroying the terrorist network that attacked us; we're strengthen
